Solution

The correct option is B Desert biomes
Desert biomes: This is one of the driest biomes receiving very little rainfall. The only continent that does not have a desert is Europe. Most desert biomes are hot during the day, and cold at night, the exception being the cold deserts (Gobi). The animals and plants that live in the desert adapt to what they need – for example, cacti are covered with hard wax to prevent water leaving them, camels have thick eyebrows, closing nostrils, hump for fat storage and wide feet to survive the harsh conditions. Desert plants have usually deep roots.
